About 75 increasingly angry employees of a possibly defunct home health care agency gathered at the agency’s Jersey City office today to try to learn if they have jobs and when their bounced paychecks will be made good.

But the Newark Avenue office of VIP Care Inc. remained empty and a rolled-down gate was shut. The state Attorney General's Office raided the storefront last week, taking boxes of paperwork with them.

“This year there is no Christmas, no gifts, nothing,” said Mercedes Rivera, of Lexington Avenue in Jersey City, who worked at VIP for eight years and said she is owed five paychecks.

“I didn’t even pay my rent this month,” Rivera said.

The employees said management has told them nothing.

“I brought my timesheet on Monday and that’s when I found out it was closed,” said Zuri McCall, of Oak Street in Jersey City.

“They still owe me three weeks’ pay. It’s Christmas. People have rent and my landlord doesn’t care about all this,” McCall said.

VIP could not be reached to comment. The number on its Newark Avenue storefront is an answering service that said it has no information.

The company has a history of bouncing paychecks, said a resident of Fourth Street in Jersey City who identified herself only as Anicia.
